The Unknown Rockstar continues his exploration of the drone and the echo, using guitar, keyboard and electronics to build rippled and whorled sound tapestries that distort and fragment around the listener. He investigates the tension between static repetition and change in these evolutionary pieces. Sometimes subtle, sometimes forceful, but always with a melodic underpinning that results in beauty seeping through the crunch of these pieces.

Unknown Rockstar is the current alias Sam Stephens, a musician currently based in New Zealand, uses for most of his solo work. He is an instrumental performing and recording artist.... working with known, unknown, and experimental elements to create recordings of interest to those who are curious about the manifestations of sound. The Unknown Rockstar is at heart an improvisor, and the albums he releases are single or multi track improvisations, or assembled from improvisations.
